Travel Testimonials

It is refreshing to find an Audit Team that has such a good understanding of our industry."

Elman Wall has been our auditor and tax advisor since 2006 and has always provided us with great service. They understand us as a client and they understand the travel industry."

Jetline Travel has been a client of Elman Wall for nearly 12 years. The reason for this longevity is partly because of their expertise within the Travel Sector – a highly regulated Industry that requires exemplary and compliant auditing. However, a more important reason, as far as we are concerned, is the hands-on approach that Elman Wall adopts, with dedicated, friendly and helpful staff that are always available to assist and advise."

Having experienced generalist accountants it has been a refreshing change to being able to talk to an accounts team with a thorough understanding of the industry. Able to understand the working practises and the ever more complicated regulations we face make Elman Wall an integral part of the management of my business...even though they insist on holding conferences at The Emirates!"

Club Europe are a specialist, family-owned school tour operator in our 33rd year. We moved to Elman Wall in 2009 as we felt we were lacking the industry knowledge from our pervious auditors. Since our move to Elman Wall we have found they know our market better and can guide us on tax matters and many other areas of the business; something essential in this current volatile marketplace. We would recommend them to other travel companies and I am happy to endorse their services."

We are a growing Travel Management Company and have been working with Elman Wall for over 10 years now, in that time our business has more than doubled in size. Elman Wall have been with us every step of the way. They’re proactive approach, led by a highly skilled and knowledgeable leadership team has ensured all advice we have received has been relevant to our situation at the time and they continue point us in the right direction as we continue to grow. Quick educated responses to our requests always with a smile, we very much look forward to working with Elman Wall for the next 10 years and beyond."

A very professional outfit at the heart of the travel business. Not just purely accountants but more a networking outlet too!"

Elman Wall have been our auditors since we started. They have always 'been there' for us and we welcome their views on the critical decisions we need to make."

We really wanted a partner who understood the travel industry and who we felt could also add value outside of the audit process itself. In the first year of our audit, I have been really pleased at the professionalism of the Elman Wall team; their proactive hands on approach has given us all the reassurance needed when running such a complex business. They make themselves available at every level throughout the practise, ensuring they are always on hand when we need them, alongside their team of inhouse experts means we have one point of call for all our needs."

My experience of Elman Wall prior to joining you as an Audit client was that you demonstrated good customer relations and communication. Since becoming a client those relations have moved up two more notches and I am looking forward to dealing with you all for a very long time! I wish to goodness I had taken you on as auditors 2 years ago.... “Big mistake....big mistake...huge!!!!”

If you ever look to put prospective customers in touch with satisfied clients who would give an honest appraisal of Elman Wall, feel free send them my way as my response would start with “simply sensational” and then I would expand...

You more than deserve to win the Accountancy awards that you feature on your website. Congratulations on a sensational day. I will be sure to attend future events!"

Over the last 5 years, Elman Wall’s sound knowledge of the UK travel industry has served us well whether it be on normal accounting procedures, licencing, investments, or strategic planning."

Elman Wall has been fantastic for us. They’ve changed our business, changed the way we work and have been brilliant. Coming to Elman Wall was one of the best decisions we ever made."

Receiving advice from the best in the business is always reassuring and Elman Wall have gone the extra mile to steer us."

Changing accountants is a bit like changing banks - is it worth the hassle? For many years we used a medium sized regional accountancy practice and to be fair to them they did a great job and we had a great relationship with the team. Eventually we decided to take the leap and move to Elman Wall as we wanted to benefit from their in-depth industry knowledge - this move was 100% hassle free and because they instantly understood our business, they were able to make recommendations straight away. Their guidance and support has been invaluable to both the business and myself. My only regret is not changing to Elman Wall years earlier! Elman Wall really do feel the heartbeat of the business!"

This year we made the decision to move our audit and tax work to a larger firm and chose Elman Wall, who specialize in the travel industry. Having just completed our annual audit, we feel reassured to know we are complying with the rules and regulations. Yasin and his team are brilliant at handling our queries, providing clear advice and guidance in a prompt and efficient manner. We would not hesitate to recommend their services."

Elman Wall Travel Masterclass

I felt that I was being talked to by a team of friendly and knowlegeable professionals."

All the speakers were excellent and very inspiring. Very helpful and we will be in touch for some professional advice very soon. I also have other clients who would benefit from your help."

Many thanks for a most informative and interesting session yesterday afternoon. You have a great team, and I walked away feeling inspired by the presentations, as well as the delegates. Please pass my thanks to on to the rest of your team."

Just a quick one to say thank you for inviting me to the master class yesterday - I really enjoyed it and it was great being in a room full of like-minded people talking about growing our businesses. I can genuinely say that I have never been more excited about working with a firm of accountants than as I am with Elman Wall."

Seriously it was very thought provoking and made me realize that taking time to look 'at' the business rather than be bogged down running it is essential from time to time. We were privileged to hear an almost live update from a tax guru of how the budget will affect the small business. If I am ever in the position to sell the business Elman Wall seem to know the score. In the words of The Apprentice - 'Thanks for the Opportunity'. "

Left feeling uplifted and relieved. Woke at 3:30am this morning to scribble 5 pages of a draft business plan!"

Excellent. Well thought out and presented. It was all interesting."

Elman Wall Travel Directors' Summit

As a new client I was very impressed with the whole day, EW and Summit Advisory together with the speakers and representatives from those two organisations and look forward to a worthwhile future with both companies."

Congratulations to all at Elman Wall! I have just attended my first Director’s Summit arranged by your firm and I have been hugely impressed. The day had pace, interest, relevance, humour and demonstrated consummate professionalism. I have taken away some 20 business ideas and will be briefing my staff on several fantastic ideas that were raised in the presentations."

Our third year of attending the brilliant Travel Director's Summit. There's always something new to learn and spark interest, as well as combining an excellent mix of inspiring speakers with relevant industry updates. Thank you for inviting us!"

My business partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the Summit and found it hugely beneficial... just another reason why we love working with Elman Wall."

Very useful day. Great speakers, loads to think about, and a fantastic opportunity to take time out to think more strategically about current issues. many thanks to Jonathan and the team for making this great event happen."

This was an excellent day, easily one of the best conferences I have attended, both in terms of the incredible content and really engaged audience. The speakers were simply terrific."

Another excellent day, worth taking the time out of the office and travelling to London for this event. Seamless organisation and very good speakers. Well done to Elman Wall."

Yet another great event. Very easy to justify a day out of the office when you're guaranteed an excellent speaker line up and the opportunity to network."

The Elman Wall Summit was well worth attending. Controversial, informative and forward thinking."

An excellent event, great for networking and meeting senior people from the travel industry. Good quality and engaging content, entertaining and well worthwhile investing the time."

My first travel summit, hopefully not my last. Thought provoking and entertaining speakers and an excellent networking opportunity. An informative and very enjoyable day - thank you!"

This was my first time at a Travel Directors' Summit and it was time very well spent. The content was thought provoking and the networking opportunities excellent. Thanks to the speakers, the sponsors and in particular to the Elman Wall team."

The relevance of the sessions together with the quality of the presenters and the seamless running of the day all lead to a valuable & enjoyable day with some key insights on R&D, people strategy, navigating Brexit and the important hot topics of community and sustainable tourism."

The Elman Wall Summit has continued to exceed expectations and deliver a thoroughly engaging day. I enjoyed meeting new and old contacts and listening to industry views from an experienced panel. A lot of food for thought to take home."

I don't spend a whole day out of my office, apart from Summit day."

An extremely worthwhile Travel Directors' Summit, with enjoyable combination of inspirational speakers and relevant industry matters."

Highly relevant to the Travel Industry and introduced by knowledgeable and passionate speakers, it really is now a firm date in our calendar."

Another fantastic Summit. Worthwhile and a must for all businesses in the travel sector."

The Elman Wall Director's Summit is becoming a 'must attend' annual event."

The Elman Wall Summit always balances cogent discussion with informal networking."

In a busy calendar of industry events, the TDS is unique in having so many owners and decision makers under one roof. Jonathan and the team put together a very enjoyable, well run and informative programme."

Thanks for a stimulating day with a wide range of speakers and topics, plenty of time for networking and the opportunity to step outside the box for a day with fellow directors from different sectors of the travel industry - invaluable and a rare treat."

Having used our local firm of accountants, since we started trading, it was no small step for us to change firms. We suspected that we had reached the stage, where more specialist advice was needed, but were extremely worried about changing to a firm, which was so far away.

We need not have worried at all. We could certainly never have imagined how much more useful and supportive, Elman Wall as our accountants could be. Always available and always returning our calls quickly, they seem as close as, and were actually more available then our local firm. They saw us competently and professionally through incorporation. They are aware of the pressure points of the business and frequently lend a sympathetic and supportive ear. Their advice has been invaluable. Their costs are realistic and there are never any nasty surprises, because they forewarn of any extra charges.

The staff at Elman Wall are just great. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them. They are extremely professional, but very friendly, at the same time. They have quickly become our first port of call for many and varied pieces of advice. They are always happy to search out their passports, risk brigands (and sheep!), and travel to sunny Shropshire!"
